If the server that holds the volume supports AppleTalk, try using

mount volume "Yes/No" on server "ServerName"

using the AppleTalk name for the server.

If it only supports TCP/IP (e.g. it's Mac OS X Personal File Sharing) then
you're stuck with the afp url syntax, and unfortunately the system service
that it uses doesn't interpret / as slash (it should, but doesn't).
